A Chinese dissident hiding since the Tiananmen Square massacre arrived Wednesday in the United States with documents he smuggled out of China detailing cannibalism there during the Cultural Revolution. Zheng Yi landed at Kennedy Airport on Wednesday night after flying from Hong Kong via San Francisco. ''I am relatively optimistic about China's future,'' Zheng said at the airport. ''The change is irreversible. If they don't want to arrest me . . . I'll go back to China,'' he said. Zheng, 45, a well-known writer in China, helped organize writers to support the student-led Tiananmen Square democracy movement.

YOUR INTERVIEW with Zheng Yi on the May 18 op-ed page was a disgrace.Zheng is a spokesman for a murderous, communist regime that has killed millions of people, continues its genocideal occupation of Tibet, has launched a new persecution of the Catholic Church in China and has a totalitarian birth-control program that includes forced abortions.We have fought communist China in Korea and Vietnam. China supported Pol Pot in Cambodia, and it arms countries such as North Korea and Iran.That the Sentinel would give a representative of this criminal state a platform is a scandal.

LEESBURG -- A fund for a 16-year-old boy who drowned last month has been set up by classmates and faculty members at Leesburg High School. Peixing Zheng, 16, of Lady Lake died May 5 while swimming in Lake Geneva in Fruitland Park. Two friends, also teenagers, who were swimming with the ninth-grader tried to pull him from the half-mile-long, quarter-mile-wide lake, but their rescue attempt was unsuccessful. Peixing, who moved to Lake County from Fujian Province in southeastern China with his father, Jin Zheng, about six years ago, was an exceptionally gifted student who had been accepted into the high school's International Baccalaureate program, which allows students to earn college credits in high school, said Melissa DeJarlais, a guidance counselor.

An analysis of nearly four decades' worth of research on health and hair dyes suggests that today's coloring agents pose only a nominal, if any, risk of cancer. Hair-dye risks long have been linked to a family of chemicals called aromatic amines, which are carcinogenic, most of which have been removed. But a team of Spanish and Canadian scientists, which pooled results from 80 studies, found that certain cancer-causing compounds are no longer used, lowering health risks. "In the 1970s, dye makers were using more-toxic chemicals, such as 2,4-diaminotoluene and 2,4-diaminoanisole, which are no longer used," said Mahyar Etminan, an epidemiologist at Royal Victoria Hospital in Quebec, whose work helped deem the dyes safer than thought.

FRUITLAND PARK -- A 15-year-old boy apparently drowned Monday trying to swim across Lake Geneva with two of his friends, authorities said. Peixing Zheng swam about halfway across the lake, got tired and tried to turn around, said Sgt. Christie Mysinger, spokeswoman for the Lake County Sheriff's Office. But he never made it back to shore. His friends, also teenagers, tried unsuccessfully to get him out of the lake, which measures about 1/2-mile long and 1/4-mile wide on the south end. They eventually went to a nearby house and asked for help.

BEIJING -- Efforts to cool down the world's fastest-growing major economy appear to be succeeding, as China reported lower-than-expected growth for the most recent quarter. China said Friday that its still-torrid economy grew 9.6 percent in the second quarter, below economists' forecasts of as high as 11 percent. The weakening growth, after a 9.8 percent rise in the first quarter, follows measures to curb red-hot flows of investment. But even as Premier Wen Jiabao said China is successfully dealing with signs of economic overheating, new concerns arose over the reliability of Chinese economic data.

Billy Andrade shot a 5-under-par 66 on Thursday at the Pennsylvania Classic in Paoli to take a one-stroke lead over J.J. Henry and rookie Kenneth Staton of Ormond Beach. Andrade, who won the last of his four PGA Tour titles late in the 2000 season, birdied all three par 5s in his bogey-free round, closing with a 2-foot putt on the par-5 18th. Donnie Hammond, a veteran from Lake Mary, and Australia's Mathew Goggin opened with 68s on the Waynesborough Country Club course. Paraguay's Carlos Franco and Orlando's Michael Clark II were in a nine-player group at 69. Australia's Robert Allenby, the winner last year at Laurel Valley in Ligonier, had a 71. Play began in chilly and windy conditions, with only four of the first 24 starters finishing under par. "It was tough playing earlier," Hammond said.

TAIYUAN, China - Zheng Yousan has not had water in his apartment in this northern Chinese city for three days. When he does get it, it usually comes in spurts between 5 and 7 a.m, enough to fill the bathtub if he gets up in time.Zheng's plight is notable because he is a legislator in China's national parliament and a big man in Shanxi, a wind-swept, coal-rich northern province where warlords and Communist guerrillas once held sway.If Zheng has water problems, the rest of the people in this city of 2 million are even worse off, often lingering for hours in long lines for a few precious gallons.
